Peel-tension fatigue experiments were conducted for investigating on fatigue strength of mechanical press joints of SPCC steel sheet used in the field of the automobile industry. In addition, finite element method analysis on the peel-tension specimen was conducted using HyperMesh and ABAQUS softwares. The cold rolled mild steel was used to join the T-shaped peel-tension specimen with a button diameter of 5.4 mm and a punch diameter of 8.3 mm. The fatigue limit load amplitude was found to be 112.4 N at the number of cycles 106, indicating that the ratio of fatigue limit load to static peel-tension strength was about 8%. This value suggests that the mechanical press joint is highly vulnerable to peel-tension load rather than to tensile-shear load, considering that the ratio of fatigue limit load to static tensile-shear strength was about 43%. Fatigue failure mode was found to be interface-failure mode.

Spot welding has been used in the sheet metal joining processes because of its high productivity and convenience. In this study, predicting methods of fatigue life of spot welded joint have been investigated and fatigue and static tests were conducted with the peel-tension specimens using cold rolled steel plate(SPCC). Fatigue life of peel-tension spot welded joint was influenced by tail effect. Fatigue life evaluation using modified stress index parameter, considering the effective eccentric length, can predict the life more exactly than conventional stress index parameter.

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) is receiving more recognition as a possible and effective solution for joining automotive body panels and structures, particularly for aluminum parts and dissimilar parts. In this study, static strength and fatigue tests were conducted using coach-peel and cross-tension specimens with Al-5052 plates for evaluation of fatigue strength of the SPR joints. For the static experiment results, the fracture modes are classified into pull-out fracture due to influence of plastic deformation of joining area. During the fatigue tests for the coach-peel and cross-tension specimens with Al-5052, interface failure mode occurred on the top substrate close to the rivet head in the most cycle region. There were relationship between applied load amplitude $P_{amp}$ and life time of cycle N, $P_{amp}=715.5{\times}N^{-0.166}$ and $P_{amp}=1967.3{\times}N^{-0.162}$ were for the coach-peel and cross- tension specimens, respectively. The finite element analysis results for specimens were adopted for the parameters of fatigue lifetime prediction. The relation between SWT fatigue parameter and number of cycles was found to be $SWT=192.8N_f^{-0.44}$.

The evaluation of joint fatigue strength of light weight materials for an electrical vehicle body has been performed through T-peel joint tests with the design parameters such as joint style, adherend type, adherend thickness, adhesive thickness, and various adhesives. Fatigue strength was evaluated through 5-Hz, tension-tension, load controlled test with the zero stress ratio. It was observed that the fatigue strength of the joint increases with the increase of the adherend thickness. With the increase of the adhesive thickness, however, the fatigue strength of the joint increases insignificantly. An aluminum-FRP adherend combination shows much higher fatigue strength than an aluminum-aluminum adherend combination. The results of fatigue tests were found to be consistent with those of static tests.

Purpose: Pomegranate has been reported to exhibit medical properties such as antimicrobial, antimutagenic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. Especially the pomegranate peel as a by-product of the juice industry possesses more polyphenols with an antioxidant effect than the pomegranate flesh does. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the pomegranate peel on the quality characteristics of steamed bread. Methods: Steamed bread containing pomegranate peel was prepared with 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% replacements of wheat flour with pomegranate peel powder, respectively. Results: The pH of dough significantly decreased from 5.66 to 4.42 with the amounts of pomegranate peel powder rising. After a 1st fermentation, the pH of all groups decreased. With an increase of the pomegranate peel powder level, the fermentation tension decreased from 42.83 mL to 29.03 mL. In addition, the volume, the specific volume, and moisture decreased as the pomegranate peel powder content level heightened. For color, steamed bread added with 7% pomegranate peel powder displayed low lightness but high redness and yellowness. In texture analysis, hardness and chewiness of the steamed bread rose as the pomegranate peel powder content increased, while the springiness and cohesiveness declined. Both total polyphenol and DPPH radical scavenging activity significantly increased with growing levels of pomegranate peel powder. In a sensory evaluation, the group with 1% pomegranate peel powder added showed the highest sensory preference scores for color, flavor, chewiness, taste, and overall acceptability. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that steamed bread prepared with the addition of 1% pomegranate peel powder is the most optimal product for appropriate quality characteristics.

Mechanical press joining has been used in sheet metal joining processes because of its simple process and possibility of joining dissimilar metals, such as steel and aluminum. The strength of mechanical press joining varies with joining conditions. The optimum joining conditions considering tensile-shear and peel-tension strength have to be established to assure the reliability in the joining strength. Therefore, optimization of joining conditions has been investigated for improving joining strength of sheet metal. It is possible to obtain optimum strength from improvement on the joining strength of peel-tension mechanical press joint under multiaxial stress states.

The study of compatible liner with ADP-505 propellant based PCP was performed. HTPB/DDl was chosen as a binder of liner in order to prohibit migration of nitroester plasticizer from propellant. The possible formulations for liner were screened by peel test of EPDM insulation/liner, propellant/liner and insulation/liner/propellant. Also, the adhesion tests including tension and shear were conducted. The adhesion of liner and propellant fumed out to be very good. The peel value was shown 1.5∼1.8 daN/cm, tensile force was 5.5∼6.0bar and shear force was 4.2∼5.0bar. In the samples of insulation/liner/propellant, they also have shown good adhesion properties. The peel, tensile and shear strength were 1.8 daN/cm, 5.0∼6.0bar and 4.5∼5.0bar, respectively.

The mechanical joining process of a sheet metal pair has been developed in order to replace the resistance spot welding process in case that joining of mechanically unweldable materials and coated sheet metals with different thickness are needed. Form-joining or clinching, a kind of mechanical joining process, is defined as joining process of a sheet metal pair by geometric constraint imposed by plastic deformation of workpieces without any additive part. It has been reported that the joining strength by commercial form-joining apparatus is 50∼70 percent of that by resistance spot welding. Therefore, a two-step form-joining process with a secondary punch is proposed. The device is designed to improve the joining strength by increasing the geometric constraint of the deformed shape by combining a primary punch, a secondary punch and a female die. In order to verify the improved joining strength by the designed process, the tensile-shear strength, the peel-tension strength and the asymmetric peel-tension strength are compared with those by the TOX process and resistance spot welding.

To estimate the effect of the surface state of the EVA foam on an adhesion, the surface was treated with solvents having different values of a solubility parameter and a surface tension. The morphology and the contact angle were measured by SEM and contact angle tester, respectively. The value of the critical surface tension(${\gamma}_{c,0}$) of the EVA foam calculated by Zismann plot was 27.08 dyne/cm. The surface state and the ${\gamma}_c$ of the EVA foam were changed by solvent treatment. The swelling ratio of EVA foam was influenced by solubility parameter of a solvent, on the other hand the degree of change in the surface state was dependent on a surface tension of a solvent. When a surface tension of solvent. When a surface tension of solvent is lower than ${\gamma}_{c,0}$ of the EVA foam, the wettability of a solvent was good and the surface state was greatly changed. The adhesion strength of EVA foam was greatly improved to above 600% as compared to that of the untreated one. As the ${\gamma}_c$ of EVA was closed to the surface tension of the primer, the good adhesion strength was obtained.

In sheet metal forming, since the surface area of workpiece is apparently larger than the volume of it, the surface condition of the sheet metal is much varied. The formability of sheet metal is decided by the forming limit and the macroscopic suface defect as like fracture and wrinkle, and microscopic asponent, The factors affected in forming limit are stain herdening exponent, strain-rate scnsitivity exponent, anisotropic coefficient. The increasing of surface roughness is decresed the forming limit curve. It is known that the greater plastic deformation the more surface roughness by Kienzle, Osadaka. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of surface roughness in a uniaxial tension and the traperzoidal-shaped box drawing.
